Sapporo Miso Ramen Specialty Shop Keyaki ( Japanese notation: 札幌味噌拉麺専門店けやき)

Hokkaido is famous for its ramen!

It is often said that Sapporo is known for miso ramen, Asahikawa for shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, and Hakodate for shio (salt) ramen...

But to be honest, we locals don’t really think about it that much. Personally, I love shoyu ramen, so no matter where I go, I usually try the local version of it. (Of course, there are times when I’m in the mood for miso ramen too!)

And in Sapporo, there are plenty of delicious shoyu ramen spots as well!

One of my absolute favorite shoyu ramen spots can actually be found inside New Chitose Airport.

In the domestic terminal, there's a ramen-themed area called "Ramen Dojo," where about ten different ramen shops are gathered. Among them is "Keyaki," a well-known ramen shop.

Keyaki is officially named "Sapporo Miso Ramen Specialty Shop Keyaki," and as the name suggests, it's famous for its miso ramen. However, the New Chitose Airport location offers a limited-edition menu item: "Charred Shoyu Ramen." (This is also how it is written on the menu.)

And let me tell you—this ramen is absolutely amazing! The rich, smoky soy sauce-based broth combined with flavorful oil makes for an incredibly satisfying bowl of ramen.

Whenever I have a reason to go to the airport, I make sure to stop by for a bowl—after all, you can only get it there! (And let’s be honest, when eating ramen, health concerns should be the last thing on your mind! Haha.)


It seems that "Keyaki" has locations in both the domestic terminal and inside the international terminal gate area at the airport.

And from what I can see on the online menu, the international terminal location also offers "Charred Shoyu Ramen."

I haven’t tried it at the international terminal, so I wonder if the taste is the same?Perhaps they’ve made it a bit lighter to cater to international travelers—though I’m not sure.

I highly recommend trying it at the domestic terminal location!They also have an English menu available there, so you won’t have any trouble ordering.


By the way, "Keyaki" is a well-known ramen shop, and its Susukino location is extremely popular, with long lines every day.

However, the "Charred Shoyu Ramen" I highly recommend is not available there, so don’t get confused!

It’s a New Chitose Airport exclusive menu item.
